Put in place a Foreign Buyer's tax on the sale of homes to individuals who aren't Canadian citizens or permanent residents, while working with provinces to create a public beneficial ownership registry to increase transparency about who owns properties.
To help put an end to speculation that's fuelling high housing prices, we'll put in place a Foreign Buyer's tax on the sale of homes to individuals who aren't Canadian citizens or permanent residents. New Democrats will also fight money laundering, which fuels organized crime and drives up housing prices. We will workwith (sic) the provinces to create a public beneficial ownership registry to increase transparency about who owns properties, and require reporting of suspicious transactions in order to help find and stop money laundering.
